The gaps on top were ever-so-slightly wider than the old bumper. So if you walk out of the store and catch someone back there with a millimeter ruler, punch him right in the left ear.   Old shot f

Hello all. So i got a bumper from a '14 to put on my '11 silverado. Problem is the bumper brackets are different. It looks like I could just do some minor fab work to make it fit. Anyone had any luck doing something like this? thanks in advance.

Hi

I was wondering if the photos are available anywhere.

I saw them all a while back but now that i'm finally getting around to installing the bumper, no more pictures.

Thanks

I am actually wanting to take my 2014 1500 reg cab bumper off and get one without the steps from an older one.......assuming this is possible too?

It's an issue with where the pictures were originally hosted and then linked to

Why can i not see any of the pictures

 

It's an issue with where the pics were hosted and linked to...if it was photobucket, they are now charging to host pictures and won't allow pictures already being hosted to be seen.  If they were hosted on this site, the site has gone through an upgrade recently and the pics probably didn't survive the upgrade.

Anyone know if the gmt900 trailer wiring harness plugs directly into the dual plug adapter that mounts to the gmt1000 bumper?

Also, does the gmt900 spare tire tube lock cover swap over to the gmt1000 bumper?

 

My 2014+ bumper came with neither parts.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
